That was all news to me. I am surprised no one has launched a charter challenge on this, especially gay people who separate.


Good argument not to get married again

Gay people can get married.

That’s true ... though I wasn’t so much thinking about leverage ... I was thinking more of other topics ... topics related to retirement income funding, in which persistent myths have the potential to affect even more people than marriage breakup. Rarely a week goes by, without someone offering highly questionable, shoot from the hip advice, based largely on myth and misunderstanding.

We all seem to agree on this forum that greater financial literacy is warranted in the population at large; surely an effort to eradicate some of the more persistent myths through identification and correction of flawed reasoning is a concrete example of how to increase financial literacy!
